This classic Ed Zitron article will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about how corrupt CEOs advance their corporate juggernauts by any means they can get away with.
You'll also find out why NVIDIA's strange growth strategies are curiously reminding people of such historic market disasters as Lucent, WorldCom, and Enron.
In ironically saying that NVIDIA is NOT Enron, Sitron made ME think that that's only because the scale of the financial stakes are much higher today -- and, potentially more devastating.
Also the US currently has a regime that is all-in on making as much as they can off this scam before the bubble bursts.
Trust me, a lot of speculators are already shorting Ai stocks as fast as they can -- knowing that the party is about to come screeching to a halt.
Slightly of-topic side note: Trump is about to achieve a trifecta: crashing the US government and with it the economy, causing a stock market crash that will make Hoover's look minor by comparison, and destabilizing the world order leading to multiple new wars.

Two interesting articles about the dubious financials of OpenAI and the recent NVIDIA earnings report (which regardless of positive outcome triggered a sell-off):

Das wundert mich jetzt nur mäßig.
Es gab ja vor einiger Zeit schon Nachrichen, daß NVidia Geld ($ 100·10⁹) in OpenAI stopft, die davon dann NVidia-NPUs kaufen. Da wird Geld im Kreis gepumpt. Interessanterweise fließt in die eine Richtung Bargeld in die andere Aktien – was für mich ein bißchen wie eine Exit-Strategie wirkt.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering greenlighting sales of Nvidia's H200 artificial intelligence chips to China, people familiar with the matter said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/22/tech/us-nvidia-h200-chips-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #nvidia #chipmakers #us #china
